Third Day of Chol HaMoed Pesach when it occurs on Wednesday or Thursday

I offer thanks to You, living and eternal King, for You have mercifully restored my soul within me; Your faithfulness is great.

Blessed are You, L‑rd our G‑d, King of the universe, who has sanctified us with His commandments, and commanded us concerning the washing of the hands. (Amen)

Blessed are You, L‑rd our G‑d, King of the universe, who has formed man with wisdom, and created in him many orifices and cavities. It is revealed and known before the Throne of Your glory that if one of them were to be blocked, or one of them were to be opened, it would be impossible to exist even for a short while. Blessed are You, L‑rd, who heals all flesh and performs wonders. (Amen)

My G‑d, the soul which You have given within me is pure. You have created it, You have formed it, You have breathed it into me, You preserve it within me, and You will take it from me and restore it within me

in the time to come.

As long as the soul is within me, I offer thanks to You, L‑rd my G‑d and G‑d of my fathers, Master of all works, Sovereign of all souls.

Blessed are You, L‑rd, who restores souls to dead bodies. (Amen)

Blessed are You, L‑rd our G‑d, King of the universe, who gives the heart understanding to distinguish between day and night. (Amen)

Blessed are You, L‑rd our G‑d, King of the universe, who opens the eyes of the blind. (Amen)

Blessed are You, L‑rd our G‑d, King of the universe, who releases the bound. (Amen)

Blessed are You, L‑rd our G‑d, King of the universe, who straightens the bowed. (Amen)

Blessed are You, L‑rd our G‑d, King of the universe, who clothes the naked. (Amen)

Blessed are You, L‑rd our G‑d, King of the universe, who gives strength to the weary. (Amen)

Blessed are You, L‑rd our G‑d, King of the universe, who spreads forth the earth above the waters. (Amen)

Blessed are You, L‑rd our G‑d, King of the universe, who directs the steps of man. (Amen)

Blessed are You, L‑rd our G‑d, King of the universe, who has provided me with all my needs. (Amen)

Blessed are You, L‑rd our G‑d, King of the universe, who girds Israel with might. (Amen)

Blessed are You, L‑rd our G‑d, King of the universe, who crowns Israel with glory. (Amen)

Blessed are You, L‑rd our G‑d, King of the universe, who has not made me a gentile. (Amen)

Blessed are You, L‑rd our G‑d, King of the universe, who has not made me a slave. (Amen)

Blessed are You, L‑rd our G‑d, King of the universe, who has not made me a woman. (Amen)

Blessed are You, L‑rd our G‑d, King of the universe, who removes sleep from my eyes and slumber from my eyelids.

And may it be Your will, L‑rd our G‑d and G‑d of our fathers, to accustom us to study Your Torah, and to cleave to Your commandments. Do not bring us into sin, nor into transgression and iniquity, nor into temptation, nor into disgrace; and let not the evil inclination have mastery over us. Keep us far from an evil man and an evil companion. Make us cleave to the good inclination and to good deeds, and compel our inclination to be subservient to You. Grant us this day and every day grace, kindness and mercy in Your eyes and in the eyes of all who behold us, and bestow bountiful kindness upon us. Blessed are You, L‑rd, who bestows bountiful kindness upon His people Israel. (Amen)

May it be Your will, L‑rd my G‑d and G‑d of my fathers, to protect me this day and every day from insolent men and from insolence; from an evil man, an evil companion, an evil neighbor, and an evil mishap; from an evil eye, from slander, from informing, from false testimony, from people's hatred, from libel, from unnatural death, from evil diseases and from evil occurrences, and from the destructive adversary; from a harsh trial and from a harsh opponent, whether he is a member of the covenant or not a member of the covenant; and from the judgment of Gehinnom.

Blessed are You, L‑rd our G‑d, King of the universe, who has sanctified us with His commandments and commanded us concerning the words of Torah. (Amen)

L‑rd our G‑d, make the words of Your Torah pleasant in our mouth and in the mouth of all Your people, the House of Israel, so that we, our descendants, and the descendants of all Your people the House of Israel, may all be knowers of Your Name and students of Your Torah for its own sake.

Blessed are You, L‑rd, who teaches the Torah to His people Israel. (Amen)

Blessed are You, L‑rd our G‑d, King of the universe, who has chosen us from among all the nations and given us His Torah.

Blessed are You, L‑rd, who gives the Torah. (Amen)

The L‑rd spoke to Moses, saying:

Speak to Aaron and his sons, saying: Thus shall you bless the children of Israel; say to them:

May the L‑rd bless you and guard you. (Amen)

May the L‑rd make His countenance shine upon you and be gracious to you. (Amen)

May the L‑rd turn His countenance toward you and grant you peace. (Amen)

And they shall place My Name upon the children of Israel, and I will bless them. (Amen)

These are the things for which no fixed measure is prescribed:

the corner of the field, the first fruits, the pilgrimage offering, acts of kindness, and the study of Torah.

These are the things the fruits of which man enjoys in this world, while the principal remains for him in the World to Come. They are:

honoring one's father and mother, acts of kindness, early attendance at the house of study morning and evening, hospitality to guests, visiting the sick, dowering the bride, escorting the dead, concentration in prayer, and making peace between man and his fellow and between husband and wife; and the study of Torah is equal to them all.

Blessed are You, L‑rd our G‑d, King of the universe, who has sanctified us with His commandments and commanded us concerning the mitzvah of tzitzis. (Amen)

I hereby take upon myself to fulfill the positive commandment, "Love your fellow as yourself."

How goodly are your tents, O Jacob, your dwelling places, O Israel!

And I, through Your abundant kindness, come into Your House; I bow toward Your holy Sanctuary in awe of You.

May my prayer to You, L‑rd, be at a propitious time; G‑d, in Your abundant kindness, answer me with Your true deliverance.

Master of the world, who reigned before anything was created.

At the time when by His will all things were made, then was His Name proclaimed King.

And after all things shall cease to be, the Awesome One will reign alone.

He was, He is, and He shall be in glory.

He is One, and there is no other to compare to Him, to consort with Him.

Without beginning, without end, His is the power and dominion.

He is my G‑d and my ever-living Redeemer, the strength of my lot in time of distress.

He is my banner and my refuge, my portion on the day I call.

Into His hand I entrust my spirit when I sleep and when I wake.

And with my soul, my body too; the L‑rd is with me, I shall not fear.

And it came to pass after these events that G‑d tested Abraham, and said to him, "Abraham," and he answered, "Here I am."

And He said, "Take now your son, your only one, whom you love, Isaac, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt-offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell you."

And Abraham rose early in the morning, saddled his donkey, and took his two young men with him, and Isaac his son; he split the wood for the burnt-offering, and rose and went to the place of which G‑d had told him.

On the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes and saw the place from afar.

And Abraham said to his young men, "Stay here with the donkey, and I and the lad will go yonder; we will prostrate ourselves and return to you."

And Abraham took the wood for the burnt-offering and placed it upon Isaac his son; he took in his hand the fire and the knife, and the two of them went together.

And Isaac spoke to Abraham his father and said, "My father." And he said, "Here I am, my son." And he said, "Here are the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for the burnt-offering?"

Avraham said, “G‑d will see to the lamb for the burnt-offering, my son.” And the two of them went on together.

And they came to the place of which G‑d had told him, and Abraham built the altar there, arranged the wood, bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood.

And Abraham stretched out his hand and took the knife to slaughter his son.

And an angel of the L‑rd called to him from heaven and said, "Abraham, Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."

And he said, "Do not lay your hand upon the lad, nor do anything to him; for now I know that you are a G‑d-fearing man, since you have not withheld your son, your only one, from Me."

And Abraham lifted up his eyes and saw, and behold,

a ram, after that, caught in the thicket by its horns; and Abraham went and took the ram and offered it up as a burnt-offering in place of his son.

And Abraham named that place "The L‑rd will see," as it is said to this day: "On the mount where the L‑rd is seen."

And an angel of the L‑rd called to Abraham a second time from heaven,

and said, "By Myself I swear, says the L‑rd, that because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only one,

I will surely bless you, and I will greatly multiply your descendants as the stars of the heavens and as the sand on the seashore; and your descendants shall inherit the gates of their enemies.

And through your descendants all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, because you have hearkened to My voice."

Then Abraham returned to his young men, and they rose and went together to Beer-Sheva; and Abraham dwelt in Beer-Sheva.

A person should always be G‑d-fearing in private as well as in public, acknowledge the truth, speak the truth in his heart, and rise early and say:

Master of all worlds! Not because of our righteous deeds do we lay our supplications before You, but because of Your abundant mercies. What are we? What is our life? What is our kindness? What is our righteousness? What is our strength? What is our might? What can we say before You, L‑rd our G‑d and G‑d of our fathers? Are not all the mighty men as nothing before You, men of renown as though they had never been, the wise as if without knowledge, and the men of understanding as if devoid of intelligence? For most of their deeds are naught, and the days of their lives are vanity before You,

the superiority of man over beast is nothing, for all is vanity.

except for the pure soul which is destined to give a judgment and accounting before the Throne of Your glory. And all the nations are as naught before You, as it is said: Behold, the nations are as a drop from a bucket, and are accounted as the dust on the scales; behold, the islands are like the fine dust that is blown away.

But we are Your people, the children of Your covenant, the children of Avraham who loved You, to whom You swore on Mount Moriah; the descendants of Yitzchak, his only son, who was bound upon the altar; the community of Yaakov, Your firstborn son, whom, because of the love with which You loved him and the joy with which You rejoiced in him, You named Israel and Yeshurun.

Therefore it is our duty to thank You, to praise You, to glorify You, to bless, to sanctify, and to offer praise and thanksgiving to Your Name. Happy are we! How good is our portion, how pleasant our lot, and how beautiful our heritage! Happy are we who, early and late, evening and morning, twice every day, declare:

Hear, O Israel, the L‑rd is our G‑d, the L‑rd is One.

Blessed be the name of the glory of His kingdom forever and ever.

You shall love the L‑rd your G‑d with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your might.

And these words which I command you today shall be upon your heart.

You shall teach them thoroughly to your children, and you shall speak of them when you sit in your house and when you walk on the way, when you lie down and when you rise.

You shall bind them as a sign upon your hand, and they shall be as tefillin between your eyes.

And you shall write them upon the doorposts of your house and upon your gates.

You were the same before the world was created; You are the same since the world was created; You are the same in this world, and You are the same in the World to Come. Sanctify Your Name in Your world through the people who sanctify Your Name. Through Your salvation, our King, exalt and raise up our strength, and save us soon for the sake of Your Name. Blessed is He who sanctifies His Name among the multitudes.

You are the L‑rd our G‑d in heaven and on earth and in the highest heavens of heavens. Truly, You are the first and You are the last, and besides You there is no G‑d.

Gather the dispersed who hope in You from the four corners of the earth. Let all who come into the world recognize and know that You alone are G‑d over all the kingdoms of the earth.

You have made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is in them. Who among all the works of Your hands, among the celestial or the terrestrial beings, can say to You, "What are You doing? What are You making?" Our Father in heaven, who lives and endures, deal with us in charity and kindness for the sake of Your great, mighty and awesome Name which is proclaimed over us; and fulfill for us, L‑rd our G‑d, that which You have promised us through Zephaniah Your seer, as it is said:

At that time I will bring you, and at that time I will gather you; for I will make you renowned and praised among all the nations of the earth, when I return your captivity before your eyes, says the L‑rd.

The L‑rd spoke to Moses, saying: Command Aaron and his sons, saying: This is the law of the burnt-offering: it is the burnt-offering which remains on the altar hearth all night until morning, and the fire of the altar

shall be kept burning on it.

The Kohen shall put on his linen garment, and he shall put linen breeches upon his body; and he shall remove the ashes of the burnt-offering which the fire has consumed on the altar, and put them beside the altar.

Then he shall take off his garments and put on other garments, and carry the ashes outside the camp to a clean place.

The fire on the altar shall be kept burning on it, it shall not go out; the Kohen shall kindle wood on it every morning, arrange the burnt-offering upon it, and burn upon it the fats of the peace-offerings.

A perpetual fire shall be kept burning on the altar; it shall not go out.

The L‑rd spoke to Moses, saying:

Command the children of Israel and say to them: My offering, My food for My fire-offerings, a pleasing odor to Me, you shall be careful to offer to Me at its appointed time.

And you shall say to them: This is the fire-offering which you shall bring to the L‑rd: two yearling male lambs without blemish, every day, as a daily burnt-offering.

You shall offer one lamb in the morning, and the other lamb you shall offer in the afternoon;

and a tenth of an ephah of fine flour for a meal-offering, mixed with a quarter of a hin of oil of crushed olives.

It is a daily burnt-offering, as was made at Mount Sinai, for a pleasing odor, a fire-offering to the L‑rd.

And its libation shall be a quarter of a hin for each lamb; in the Sanctuary you shall pour out a libation of strong wine to the L‑rd.

And the other lamb you shall offer in the afternoon; like the meal-offering of the morning and its libation you shall offer it, a fire-offering of pleasing odor to the L‑rd.

He shall slaughter it on the north side of the altar before the L‑rd, and the sons of Aharon, the Kohanim, shall sprinkle its blood all around upon the altar.

You are the L‑rd our G‑d and G‑d of our fathers, before whom our fathers burned the offering of incense when the Beis Hamikdash stood, as You commanded them through Moshe Your prophet, as it is written in Your Torah:

The L‑rd said to Moses: Take for yourself spices:

balm, onycha, and galbanum; spices and pure frankincense; there shall be an equal weight of each.

And you shall make of it incense, a compound expertly blended, well mixed, pure and holy.

You shall grind some of it very fine, and put some of it before the Ark of Testimony in the Tent of Meeting, where I will meet with you; it shall be most holy to you.

And it is said: Aaron shall burn upon it incense of fragrant spices; every morning when he cleans the lamps he shall burn it.

And when Aaron lights the lamps in the afternoon he shall burn it, a continual incense before the L‑rd throughout your generations.

The Rabbis have taught: How was the incense compounded?

It contained three hundred and sixty-eight manehs: three hundred and sixty-five corresponding to the number of days in the solar year, a maneh for each day, half in the morning and half in the afternoon; and three extra manehs, from which the High Priest took both handfuls on Yom Kippur. These he returned to the mortar on the day before Yom Kippur, and ground them very

very thoroughly so that it would be exceptionally fine. The incense contained eleven kinds of spices, and these are they:

(1) balm,

(2) onycha,

(3) galbanum,

(4) and frankincense, each weighing seventy maneh;

(5) myrrh,

(6) cassia,

(7) spikenard,

(8) and saffron, each weighing sixteen maneh;

(9) costus, twelve;

(10) aromatic bark, three;

(11) cinnamon, nine.

nine kavs of Carshina lye; three se'ahs and three kavs of Cyprus wine (if one has no Cyprus wine, he brings old white wine); a quarter kav of salt of Sodom; and a minute quantity of a herb that causes the smoke to rise.

Rabbi Nassan the Babylonian says: Also a minute quantity of Jordan amber. If one put honey into it, he rendered it unfit; and if he omitted any one of its spices, he is liable to the penalty of death.

Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel says: The balsam is nothing but a resin which exudes from the balsam trees. The lye of Carshina was used to rub on the onycha to make it beautiful; the Cyprus wine was used to soak the onycha in it to make its odor pungent. Though urine is well suited for this purpose, it is not brought into the Beis Hamikdash out of respect.

It has been taught, Rabbi Nassan says: While the Kohen was grinding the incense, the overseer would say, "Grind it fine, fine grind it," because the sound is beneficial for the spices. If one prepared it in half quantities, it was fit for use; but we have not heard whether this applies to a third or a quarter. Rabbi Yehudah said: This is the general rule: if it was made in its correct proportions, it is fit for use in half quantity; but if he omitted any one of its spices, he is liable to the penalty of death.

It was taught: Bar Kappara says: Once every sixty or seventy years, the accumulated surpluses amounted to half the yearly quantity. Bar Kappara further taught: Had one put into it a minute quantity of honey, no

person could have stood its scent. Why did they not mix honey into it? Because the Torah says: For any leaven or any honey, you shall not burn any of it as a fire-offering to the L‑rd.

The L‑rd of hosts is with us; the G‑d of Yaakov is our everlasting stronghold.

The L‑rd of hosts is with us; the G‑d of Yaakov is our everlasting stronghold.

The L‑rd of hosts is with us; the G‑d of Yaakov is our everlasting stronghold.

L‑rd of hosts, happy is the man who trusts in You.

L‑rd of hosts, happy is the man who trusts in You.

L‑rd of hosts, happy is the man who trusts in You.

L‑rd, deliver us; may the King answer us on the day we call.

L‑rd, deliver us; may the King answer us on the day we call.

L‑rd, deliver us; may the King answer us on the day we call.

Then the offering of Yehudah and Jerusalem will be pleasing to the L‑rd as in the days of old and as in former years.

Abaye recounted the order of the altar service on the authority of the tradition, and in accordance with the view of Abba Shaul: The large wood pile was arranged before the secondary pile for the incense; the secondary pile for the incense preceded the placing of the two logs of wood; the placing of the two logs of wood preceded the removing of the ashes from the inner altar; the removing of the ashes from the inner altar preceded the cleaning of five lamps; the cleaning of the five lamps preceded the sprinkling of the blood of the daily offering; the sprinkling of the blood of the daily offering preceded the cleaning of the two remaining lamps; the cleaning of the two lamps preceded the burning of the incense; the incense preceded the burning of the limbs; the limbs preceded the meal-offering; the meal-offering preceded the pan-baked cakes; the pan-baked cakes preceded the libations; the libations preceded the Musaf offerings; the Musaf offerings preceded the frankincense in the bowls; and the bowls preceded the afternoon daily offering. For it is said: "He shall arrange the burnt-offering upon it and burn upon it the fats of the peace-offerings" — "upon it" all the offerings are to be completed.

We implore You, by the great power of Your right hand, release the captive. (אב"ג ית"ץ)

Accept the prayer of Your people; strengthen us, purify us, O Awesome One. (קר"ע שט"ן)

Mighty One, we beseech You, guard as the apple of the eye those who seek Your Oneness. (נג"ד יכ"ש)

Bless them, purify them; bestow upon them always the mercy of Your righteousness. (בט"ר צת"ג)

Powerful, Holy One, in Your abundant goodness, guide Your congregation. (חק"ב טנ"ע)

Only and Exalted One, turn to Your people who are mindful of Your holiness. (יג"ל פז"ק)

Accept our supplication and hear our cry, O Knower of secret thoughts. (שק"ו צי"ת)

Blessed be the name of the glory of His kingdom forever and ever.

^[1] Which are the places of the offerings? The most holy offerings were slaughtered on the north side. The bullock and the he-goat of Yom Kippur were slaughtered on the north side, and their blood was received in a service vessel on the north side. Their blood required sprinkling between the staves of the Ark, upon the curtain, and upon the golden altar. The omission of any one of these sprinklings rendered the offering invalid. The remainder of the blood he would pour out on the western base of the outer altar; if he did not do so, however, the offering was not invalidated.

^[2] The bullocks and he-goats which were to be burned were slaughtered on the north side, and their blood was received in a service vessel on the north side. Their blood required sprinkling upon the curtain and upon the golden altar. The omission of any one of these sprinklings rendered the offering invalid. The remainder of the blood he would pour out on the western base of the outer altar; if he did not do so, however, the offering was not invalidated. Both these and those were burned in the place where the ashes were deposited.

^[3] Regarding the sin-offerings of the community and of the individual — these are the communal sin-offerings: the he-goats offered on Rosh Chodesh and on the festivals. They were slaughtered on the north side, and their blood was received in a service vessel on the north side. Their blood required four sprinklings, one on each of the four corners of the altar. How was it done? The Kohen ascended the ramp, turned to the ledge, and came to the southeast corner, then the northeast, then the northwest, then the southwest. The remainder of the blood he would pour out on the southern base. These offerings were eaten within the curtains of the courtyard, by the males of the priesthood, prepared in any manner, on the same day and the following night until midnight.

^[4] The burnt-offering was among the most holy offerings. It was slaughtered on the north side, and its blood was received in a service vessel on the north side. Its blood required two sprinklings which constituted four. It required flaying and dismembering, and was entirely consumed by the fire.

^[5] The peace-offerings of the community and the guilt-offerings. These are the guilt-offerings: the guilt-offering for robbery, the guilt-offering for misappropriation of sacred objects, the guilt-offering for violating a betrothed maidservant, the guilt-offering of a Nazirite, the guilt-offering of a leper, and the guilt-offering in case of doubt. They are slaughtered in the north, and their blood is received in a service vessel in the north. Their blood requires two sprinklings which constitute

four, and they are eaten within the hangings of the courtyard by male Kohanim, prepared in any manner, on the same day and the following night, until midnight.

^[6] The thanksgiving-offering and the ram of a Nazirite were offerings of lesser holiness. They were slaughtered anywhere in the Temple courtyard, and their blood required two sprinklings which constituted four. They were eaten anywhere in the city, by anyone, prepared in any manner, on the same day and the following night until midnight. The portions separated from them were subject to the same law, except that those portions were eaten only by the Kohanim, their wives, their children and their servants.

^[7] Peace-offerings were offerings of lesser holiness. They were slaughtered anywhere in the Temple courtyard, and their blood required two sprinklings which constituted four. They were eaten anywhere in the city, by anyone, prepared in any manner, during two days and the intervening night. The portions separated from them were subject to the same law, except that those portions were eaten only by the Kohanim, their wives, their children and their servants.

^[8] The firstborn offering, the tithe offering and the Pesach offering were offerings of lesser holiness. They were slaughtered anywhere in the Temple courtyard, and their blood required only one sprinkling, provided it was done above the base of the altar. They differed in the manner of their eating: the firstborn offering was eaten by the Kohanim, and the tithe offering by anyone. They were eaten anywhere in the city, prepared in any manner, during two days and the intervening night. The Pesach offering was eaten only at night, only until midnight, only by those registered for it, and only roasted.

Rabbi Yishmael says: The Torah is expounded by means of thirteen rules:

^[1] An inference from a minor to a major case, or from a major to a minor case.

^[2] An inference from similarity of words.

^[3] By a general principle derived from one verse, and by a general principle derived from two verses.

^[4] A general statement followed by a specification.

^[5] A specification followed by a general statement.

^[6] When a general rule is followed by a specification and again by a general rule, you may infer only what is similar to the specification.

^[7] When a general rule requires a specification to clarify it, or a specification requires a general rule to clarify it.

^[8] Whenever something included in a general rule is singled out to teach something, it was not singled out to teach only about itself, but to teach about the entire general rule.

^[9] Whenever something included in a general rule is singled out to discuss a provision similar to the general rule, it is singled out to make it more lenient and not more stringent.

^[10] Whenever something included in a general rule is singled out to discuss a provision not similar to the general rule, it is singled out to make it both more lenient and more stringent.

^[11] Whenever something included in a general rule is singled out to be dealt with in a new matter, you cannot restore it to its general rule unless Scripture explicitly restores it to its general rule.

^[12] A matter explained by its context, and a matter explained by what follows it.

^[13] Likewise, two verses which contradict each other, until a third verse comes and reconciles them.

May it be Your will, L‑rd our G‑d and G‑d of our fathers, that the Beis Hamikdash be speedily rebuilt in our days, and grant us our portion in Your Torah.

Give thanks to the L‑rd, proclaim His Name; make His deeds known among the nations.

Sing to Him, chant praises to Him; speak of all His wonders.

Glory in His holy Name; let the heart of those who seek the L‑rd rejoice.

Seek the L‑rd and His might; seek His countenance always.

Remember the wonders He has wrought, His miracles, and the judgments of His mouth,

O descendants of Israel His servant, children of Jacob, His chosen ones.

He is the L‑rd our G‑d; His judgments extend over the whole earth.

Remember His covenant forever, the word which He commanded to a thousand generations,

the covenant which He made with Abraham, and His oath to Isaac.

He established it for Jacob as a statute, for Israel as an everlasting covenant, saying:

"To you I will give the land of Canaan as the portion of your inheritance,"

when you were but few in number, very few, and strangers in it.

And they wandered from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people.

He permitted no man to wrong them, and admonished kings for their sake:

"Do not touch My anointed ones, and do not harm My prophets."

Sing to the L‑rd, all the earth; proclaim His deliverance from day to day.

Recount His glory among the nations, His wonders among all the peoples.

For the L‑rd is great and highly praised; He is awesome above all gods.

For all the gods of the nations are idols (pause) but the L‑rd made the heavens.

Majesty and splendor are before Him, strength and joy are in His place.

Render to the L‑rd, O families of nations, render to the L‑rd honor and strength.

Render to the L‑rd the honor due to His Name; bring an offering and come before Him; bow down to the L‑rd in resplendent holiness.

Tremble before Him, all the earth; indeed, the world is firmly established that it cannot falter.

The heavens will rejoice and the earth will exult; and they will proclaim among the nations, "The L‑rd reigns!"

The sea and its fullness will roar; the field and everything in it will rejoice.

Then the trees of the forest will sing before the L‑rd, for He has come to judge the earth.

Give thanks to the L‑rd for He is good, for His kindness is everlasting.

And say: Deliver us, G‑d of our deliverance, gather us

and save us from the nations, to give thanks to Your holy Name and to glory in Your praise.

Blessed is the L‑rd, the G‑d of Israel, to all eternity; and all the people said, "Amen," and "Praise the L‑rd."

Exalt the L‑rd our G‑d and bow down at His footstool; He is holy.

Exalt the L‑rd our G‑d and bow down at His holy mountain, for the L‑rd our G‑d is holy.

And He, being compassionate, pardons iniquity and does not destroy; time and again He turns away His anger and does not arouse all His wrath.

May You, L‑rd, not withhold Your mercies from me; may Your kindness and truth constantly guard me.

L‑rd, remember Your mercies and Your kindnesses, for they have existed forever.

Ascribe strength to G‑d, whose majesty is over Israel and whose might is in the heavens.

You are awesome, G‑d, from Your Sanctuary; it is the G‑d of Israel who gives strength and power to the people; blessed is G‑d.

G‑d of retribution, O L‑rd; G‑d of retribution, reveal Yourself!

Arise, Judge of the earth; render to the arrogant their recompense.

Deliverance is the L‑rd's; may Your blessing be upon Your people, Selah.

The L‑rd of hosts is with us; the G‑d of Yaakov is our everlasting stronghold.

L‑rd of hosts, happy is the man who trusts in You.

L‑rd, deliver us; may the King answer us on the day we call.

Deliver Your people and bless Your inheritance; tend them and exalt them forever.

Our soul yearns for the L‑rd; He is our help and our shield.

For our heart rejoices in Him, for we trust in His holy Name.

May Your kindness, L‑rd, be upon us, as we have placed our hope in You.

Show us, L‑rd, Your kindness, and grant us Your deliverance.

Arise, be our help, and redeem us for the sake of Your kindness.

I am the L‑rd your G‑d who brought you up from the land of Egypt; open your mouth wide and I will fill it.

Happy is the people whose lot is thus; happy is the people whose G‑d is the L‑rd.

I have placed my trust in Your kindness; my heart will rejoice in Your deliverance. I will sing to the L‑rd, for He has dealt kindly with me.

A Psalm, a song for the dedication of the House, by David.

I exalt You, L‑rd, for You have uplifted me, and did not let my enemies rejoice over me.

L‑rd my G‑d, I cried out to You, and You healed me.

L‑rd, You have brought up my soul from the grave; You have kept me alive, that I should not descend into the pit.

Sing to the L‑rd, you His pious ones, and give thanks to His holy Name.

For His wrath is but for a moment, when there is His favor there is life; weeping may tarry for the night, but in the morning there is joy.

In my security I said, "I shall never falter."

L‑rd, by Your favor You established my mountain as a stronghold; when You concealed Your face, I was terrified.

To You, L‑rd, I called, and to my L‑rd I appealed.

What profit is there in my death, in my going down to the grave? Will the dust praise You? Will it declare Your truth?

Hear, L‑rd, and be gracious to me; L‑rd, be a help to me.

You have turned my mourning into dancing for me; You have loosened my sackcloth and girded me with joy.

So that my soul may sing to You and not be silent; L‑rd my G‑d, I will thank You forever.

PLEASE RISE

The L‑rd is King, the L‑rd was King, the L‑rd will be King forever and ever.

Blessed is the L‑rd, the G‑d of Israel, to all eternity, and let all the people say, "Amen." Praise the L‑rd.

For the Choirmaster; a Psalm, a song with instrumental music.

May G‑d be gracious to us and bless us;

may He make His countenance shine upon us forever,

to make known Your deliverance among all the nations.

The nations will extol You, O G‑d; all the nations will extol You.

The nations will rejoice and sing for joy, for You will judge the peoples justly, and guide the nations on earth, Selah.

The nations will extol You, O G‑d; all the nations will extol You.

The earth has yielded its produce; may G‑d, our G‑d, bless us.

May G‑d bless us, and may all the ends of the earth fear Him.

Hold the two front tzitzis in hand.

PLEASE RISE

Blessed is the L‑rd forever, Amen and Amen.

Blessed is the L‑rd from Zion, who dwells in Jerusalem; praise the L‑rd.

Blessed is the L‑rd G‑d, the G‑d of Israel, who alone performs wonders.

Blessed is His glorious Name forever, and may the whole earth be filled with His glory, Amen and Amen.

And David blessed the L‑rd in the presence of all the assembly, and David said: Blessed are You, L‑rd, the G‑d of Israel our father, forever and ever.

Yours, L‑rd, is the greatness, the power, the glory, the victory, and the majesty; for all that is in heaven and on earth is Yours.

Yours, L‑rd, is the kingship, and You are exalted as Head over all.

Wealth and honor come from You, and You rule over all; in Your hand are strength and power, and it is in Your hand to make great and to give strength to all.

And now, our G‑d, we thank You and praise Your glorious Name.

Let them bless Your glorious Name, which is exalted above all blessing and praise.

You alone are the L‑rd; You made the heavens, the heaven of heavens and all their hosts, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them, and You give life to them all; and the host

the heavens bow down to You.

You are the L‑rd G‑d who chose Abram, brought him out of Ur Kasdim, and made his name Abraham.

And You found his heart faithful before You.

And You made the covenant with him to give the land of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite, the Perizzite, the Jebusite and the Girgashite, to give it to his descendants; and You have fulfilled Your words, for You are righteous.

You saw the affliction of our fathers in Egypt, and You heard their cry at the Sea of Reeds.

You performed signs and wonders upon Pharaoh, upon all his servants and upon all the people of his land, for You knew that they had dealt wickedly against them; and You made a name for Yourself as on this day.

You split the sea before them, and they passed through the midst of the sea on dry land; and their pursuers You cast into the depths, like a stone into mighty waters.

On that day the L‑rd saved Israel from the hand of Egypt, and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the seashore.

Israel saw the great hand which the L‑rd wielded against Egypt, and the people feared the L‑rd, and they believed in the L‑rd and in His servant Moses.

Then Moses and the children of Israel sang this song to the L‑rd, and they said: I will sing to the L‑rd, for He is most exalted; the horse and its rider He cast into the sea.

The L‑rd is my strength and my song, and He has been my salvation; this is my G‑d and I will glorify Him, the G‑d of my father and I will exalt Him. The L‑rd is a Master of war; the L‑rd is His Name.

Pharaoh's chariots and his army He cast into the sea, and his chosen captains were drowned in the Sea of Reeds.

The depths covered them; they sank into the deep like a stone.

Your right hand, L‑rd, is glorious in power; Your right hand, L‑rd, shatters the enemy.

In Your great majesty You destroy those who rise against You; You send forth Your wrath

it consumes them like straw.

With the breath of Your nostrils the waters piled up; the flowing waters stood upright like a wall; the depths congealed in the heart of the sea.

The enemy said: I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my desire shall be sated with them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them.

You blew with Your wind, the sea covered them; they sank like lead in the mighty waters.

Who is like You among the mighty, L‑rd? Who is like You, glorious in holiness, awesome in praises, doing wonders!

You stretched out Your right hand, the earth swallowed them.

In Your lovingkindness You led the people You redeemed; You guided them in Your strength to Your holy abode.

Nations heard and trembled; terror seized the inhabitants of Philistia.

Then the chiefs of Edom were terrified; trembling seized the mighty men of Moab; all the inhabitants of Canaan melted away.

Dread and fear fell upon them; by the greatness of Your arm they became still as a stone, until Your people passed over, L‑rd, until this people which You acquired passed over.

You will bring them and plant them on the mount of Your inheritance, the place You, L‑rd, have made for Your dwelling, the Sanctuary, my L‑rd, which Your hands established.

The L‑rd will reign forever and ever.

The L‑rd will reign forever and ever.

The L‑rd, His kingship is established forever and to all eternity.

For Pharaoh's horses, with his chariots and his horsemen, went into the sea, and the L‑rd brought back the waters of the sea upon them; and the children of Israel walked on dry land in the midst of the sea.

For kingship is the L‑rd's, and He rules over the nations.

And deliverers shall go up to Mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau, and the kingship shall be the L‑rd's.

And the L‑rd shall be King over all the earth; on that day the L‑rd shall be One and His Name One.

May Your Name be praised forever, our King, the G‑d, the great and holy King in heaven and on earth; for to You, L‑rd our G‑d and G‑d of our fathers, it is fitting forever to render song and praise, hymn and melody, strength and dominion, victory, greatness and might, praise and glory, holiness and sovereignty,

blessings and thanksgivings to Your great and holy Name; from the beginning to the end of the world You are G‑d.

Blessed are You, L‑rd, G‑d, King, great and extolled with praises, G‑d of thanksgivings, Master of wonders, Creator of all souls, Ruler of all creatures, who takes pleasure in songs of praise; the only King, the Life of the worlds. (Amen)

and His holiness.

Be blessed, L‑rd our G‑d, in the heavens above and on the earth below, for all the praiseworthy work of Your hands, and for the light‑giving luminaries which You created; may they glorify You forever.

They are all beloved, all pure, all mighty, all holy, and all perform with awe and reverence the will of their Maker.

And they all open their mouths in holiness and purity, with song and melody, and bless and praise, glorify and revere, sanctify and proclaim the sovereignty of

the Name of G‑d, the great, mighty and awesome King, holy is He.

They all take upon themselves the yoke of the kingdom of heaven, one from the other, and grant permission to one another with love to sanctify their Creator with tranquil spirit, with clear speech and with holy melody.

All as one exclaim in awe and say with reverence:

Holy, holy, holy is the L‑rd of hosts; the whole earth is full of His glory.

And the Ofanim and the holy Chayos, with a mighty sound, rise toward the Seraphim, and facing them they give praise and say:

Blessed be the glory of the L‑rd from its place.

To the blessed G‑d they offer melodies; to the King, the living and eternal G‑d, they utter hymns and make their praises heard. For He alone is exalted and holy, performs mighty deeds, makes new things, is Master of battles, sows righteousness, makes salvation flourish, creates healing, is awesome in praises, Master of wonders, who in His goodness renews each day, continuously, the work of creation; as it is said: [Give thanks] to Him who makes the great lights, for His kindness is everlasting.

Blessed are You, L‑rd, Creator of the luminaries. (Amen)

With everlasting love have You loved us, L‑rd our G‑d; with great and abundant compassion have You pitied us.

Our Father, our King,

For the sake of Your great Name, and for the sake of our fathers who trusted in You and whom You taught the laws of life to do Your will with a perfect heart, so be gracious to us and teach us.

Blessed are You, L‑rd, who chooses His people Israel with love.

Cover your eyes while reciting the verse Shema Yisrael

Hear, O Israel, the L‑rd is our G‑d, the L‑rd is One.

The verse Baruch Shem is said in an undertone

Blessed be the name of the glory of His kingdom forever and ever.

You shall love the L‑rd your G‑d with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your might.

And these words which I command you today shall be upon your heart.

You shall teach them thoroughly to your children, and you shall speak of them when you sit in your house and when you walk on the way, when you lie down and when you rise.

You shall bind them as a sign upon your hand, and they shall be as tefillin between your eyes.

And you shall write them upon the doorposts of your house and upon your gates.

And it will be, if you will diligently obey My commandments which I command you this day, to love the L‑rd your G‑d and to serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul,

I will give the rain of your land

in its proper time, the early rain and the late rain, and you will gather in your grain, your wine and your oil.

And I will give grass in your fields for your cattle, and you will eat and be sated.

Take care lest your heart be lured away, and you turn astray and worship other gods and bow down to them.

For then the L‑rd's wrath will flare up against you, and He will close the heavens so that there will be no rain and the earth will not yield its produce, and you will swiftly perish from the good land which the L‑rd gives you.

Therefore, place these words of Mine upon your heart and upon your soul, and bind them as a sign upon your hand, and they shall be as tefillin between your eyes.

You shall teach them to your children, to speak of them when you sit in your house and when you walk on the way, when you lie down and when you rise.

And you shall write them upon the doorposts of your house and upon your gates,

so that your days and the days of your children may be prolonged on the land which the L‑rd swore to your fathers to give them, as long as the heavens are above the earth.

The L‑rd spoke to Moses, saying:

Speak to the children of Israel and tell them to make for themselves tzitzis Kiss the tzitzis on the corners of their garments throughout their generations, and to put on the tzitzis Kiss the tzitzis of each corner a thread of blue.

And they shall be to you as tzitzis, kiss the tzitzis and you shall see them and remember all the mitzvos of the L‑rd and do them, and you will not follow after your heart and after your eyes, after which you go astray.

so that you may remember and fulfill all My commandments and be holy to your G‑d.

I am the L‑rd your G‑d who brought you out of the land of Egypt to be your G‑d; I am the L‑rd your G‑d.

True, kiss the tzitzis and certain, established and enduring, upright and faithful,

beloved and cherished, delightful and pleasant, awesome and mighty, well‑ordered and acceptable, good and beautiful is this matter to us forever and ever.

True, You are the L‑rd our G‑d and the G‑d of our fathers, our King and the King of our fathers, our Redeemer and the Redeemer of our fathers, our Rock, the Rock of our salvation, our Deliverer and Rescuer; this has always been Your Name, and there is no G‑d besides You, forever.

True, You are the first and You are the last, and besides You we have no King, Redeemer and Savior.

True, You redeemed us from Egypt, L‑rd our G‑d, and freed us from the house of bondage.

All their firstborn You slew, but Israel, Your firstborn, You redeemed; You split the Sea of Reeds for them, drowned the wicked, and brought the beloved ones across, and the waters covered their foes;

not one of them remained. For this the beloved ones praised

and exalted G‑d, and the cherished ones offered hymns, songs and praises, blessings and thanksgivings to the King, the living and eternal G‑d.

High and exalted, great and awesome, He humbles the haughty to the ground and raises the lowly on high; He frees the captives, redeems the humble, helps the poor, and answers His people Israel when they cry out to Him.

Praises to the Most High G‑d, their Redeemer; blessed is He and He is blessed. Moses and the children of Israel sang a song to You with great joy, and they all said:

Who is like You among the mighty, O L‑rd! Who is like You, glorious in holiness, awesome in praises, performing wonders!

With a new song the redeemed praised Your great Name at the seashore; all together they gave thanks, acknowledged Your sovereignty, and said:

The L‑rd shall reign forever and ever.

And it is said: Our Redeemer, the L‑rd of hosts is His Name, the Holy One of Israel.

Blessed are You, L‑rd, who redeemed Israel.

PLEASE RISE AND TAKE THREE STEPS BACKWARDS THEN THREE STEPS FORWARD AND STAND WITH FEET TOGETHER DURING THE AMIDAH PRAYER

My L‑rd, open my lips, and my mouth shall declare Your praise.

Blessed are You, L‑rd our G‑d and G‑d of our fathers, G‑d of Abraham, G‑d of Isaac and G‑d of Jacob, the great, mighty and awesome G‑d, G‑d Most High, who bestows bountiful kindness, who creates all things, who remembers the piety of the Patriarchs, and who, in love, brings a redeemer to their children's children, for the sake of His Name.

O King, Helper, Savior and Shield. Blessed are You, L‑rd, Shield of Abraham.

You are mighty forever, my L‑rd; You revive the dead; You are powerful to save.

He causes the dew to descend.

He sustains the living with kindness, revives the dead with great mercy, supports the falling, heals the sick, releases the bound, and keeps His faith with those who sleep in the dust.

Bring us back, our Father, to Your Torah; draw us near, our King, to Your service; and cause us to return to You in wholehearted repentance. Blessed are You, L‑rd, who desires repentance.

Pardon us, our Father, for we have sinned; forgive us, our King, for

we have transgressed; for You are a good and forgiving G‑d. Blessed are You, L‑rd, gracious One who pardons abundantly.

Behold our affliction and wage our battle; redeem us speedily for the sake of Your Name, for You are a mighty redeeming G‑d. Blessed are You, L‑rd, Redeemer of Israel.

Heal us, O L‑rd, and we will be healed; help us and we will be saved, for You are our praise. Grant complete cure and healing to all our wounds, for You, G‑d, King, are a faithful and merciful healer. Blessed are You, L‑rd, who heals the sick of His people Israel.

Bless for us, L‑rd our G‑d, this year and all the varieties of its produce for good; and bestow blessing upon the face of the earth. Satisfy us with Your goodness and bless our year like the good years, for blessing; for You are a good and beneficent G‑d who blesses the years. Blessed are You, L‑rd, who blesses the years.

Sound the great shofar for our freedom, raise a banner to gather our exiles, and gather us together from the four corners of the earth into our land. Blessed are You, L‑rd, who gathers the dispersed of His people Israel.

Restore our judges as in former times and our counselors as of old; remove from us sorrow and sighing; and reign over us, You alone, O L‑rd, with kindness and compassion, with righteousness and justice. Blessed are You, L‑rd, King who loves righteousness and justice.

Let there be no hope for informers, and may all the heretics and all the wicked instantly perish; may all the enemies of Your people be speedily cut off; and may You swiftly uproot, break, crush and subdue the reign of wickedness speedily in our days. Blessed are You, L‑rd, who breaks enemies and subdues the wicked.

May Your mercies be aroused, L‑rd our G‑d, upon the righteous, upon the pious, upon the elders of Your people, the House of Israel, upon the remnant of their sages, upon the righteous converts and upon us. Grant ample reward to all who truly trust in Your Name, and place our lot among them; may we never be put to shame, for we have put our trust in You. Blessed are You, L‑rd, the support and security of the righteous.

Return in mercy to Jerusalem Your city and dwell therein as You have promised; speedily establish therein the throne of David Your servant, and rebuild it, soon in our days, as an everlasting edifice. Blessed are You, L‑rd, who rebuilds Jerusalem.

Speedily cause the offspring of David Your servant to flourish, and increase his power by Your salvation, for we hope for Your salvation all day. Blessed are You, L‑rd, who causes the power of salvation to flourish.

Hear our voice, L‑rd our G‑d; merciful Father, have compassion upon us and accept our prayers in mercy and favor, for You are G‑d who hears prayers and supplications; do not turn us away empty-handed from Your presence, our King, for You hear the prayer of every mouth. Blessed are You, L‑rd, who hears prayer.

Look with favor, L‑rd our G‑d, on Your people Israel and pay heed to their prayer; restore the service to the inner sanctuary of Your House, and accept with love and favor Israel's fire-offerings and their prayer; and may the service of Your people Israel always find favor.

Our G‑d and G‑d of our fathers, may there ascend, come and reach, be seen, accepted and heard, be recalled and remembered before You the remembrance and recollection of us, the remembrance of our fathers, the remembrance of Moshiach the son of David Your servant, the remembrance of Jerusalem Your holy city, and the remembrance of all Your people the House of Israel, for deliverance, for well‑being, for grace, kindness and mercy, for good life and for peace, on this day of the Festival of Matzos.

Remember us on this day, L‑rd our G‑d, for good;

be mindful of us on it for blessing;

We will give thanks to You and recount Your praise, for our lives which are entrusted into Your hand, for our souls which are in Your care, for Your miracles which are with us every day, and for Your wonders and favors at all times, evening, morning and noon. You are the Beneficent One, for Your mercies never cease; and the Merciful One, for Your kindnesses never end; for we have always placed our hope in You.

And for all these, may Your Name, our King, be continually blessed, exalted and extolled forever and all time.

And all living things shall forever thank You and praise Your great Name eternally, for You are good. G‑d, You are our everlasting salvation and help, O benevolent G‑d. Blessed are You, L‑rd, Beneficent is Your Name, and to You it is fitting to offer thanks.

Bestow peace, goodness and blessing, life, graciousness, kindness and mercy, upon us and upon all Your people Israel. Bless us, our Father, all of us as one, with the light of Your countenance, for by the light of Your countenance You gave us, L‑rd our G‑d, the Torah of life and loving-kindness, righteousness, blessing, mercy, life and peace. May it be good in Your eyes to bless Your people Israel at all times and at every moment with Your peace. Blessed are You, L‑rd, who blesses His people Israel with peace.

May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable before You, L‑rd, my Strength and my Redeemer.

My G‑d, guard my tongue from evil and my lips from speaking deceitfully. To those who curse me, let my soul be silent; and let my soul be like dust to all. Open my heart to Your Torah, and let my soul eagerly pursue Your commandments. And all who plot evil against me, speedily nullify their counsel and frustrate their plans. Let them be like chaff before the wind; let the angel of the L‑rd thrust them away. That Your beloved ones may be delivered, help with Your right hand and answer me. Do it for the sake of Your Name; do it for the sake of Your right hand; do it for the sake of Your Torah; do it for the sake of Your holiness. May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable before You, L‑rd, my Strength and my Redeemer.

He who makes peace in His heavens, may He make peace for us and for all Israel; and say, Amen.

May it be Your will, L‑rd our G‑d and G‑d of our fathers, that the Beis Hamikdash be speedily rebuilt in our days, and grant us our portion in Your Torah.
